blue16 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 For the applicants who were invited to an interview, can you please let me know the dates you submitted your application. I am still patiently waiting for a response from Western. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkinghardtobecomeaPA Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 They take everyone with a 3.4 GPA and offer them interviews first. And then they do the 3.3 and then the 3.2s and so on. In the past few years they've stopped at the 3.4 range and have interviewed a few applicants with 3.3 GPAs. Here's a link to the average accepted student stats: http://prospective.westernu.edu/osteopathic/competitive-10/ That is the wrong link Timon. Here is the link for competitive stats for the PA program. http://prospective.westernu.edu/physician-assistant/competitive-12/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timon Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 That is the wrong link Timon. Here is the link for competitive stats for the PA program. http://prospective.westernu.edu/physician-assistant/competitive-12/ Thanks for that. Stats aren't too far off. Either way, best of luck to you all. =o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aashaw Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I received an interview invite this afternoon (four dates to pick from late Jan and early Feb) but declined since today I also happened to send in my deposit for a seat in another program. So that opens up a spot for someone else! Best of luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggozno Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Hi guys! Does anyone know if they are still sending out interview invites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkinghardtobecomeaPA Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Hi guys! Does anyone know if they are still sending out interview invites? I am not 100% sure but I hope they are still going to send out more interviews. I am a re-applicant and last year I did not receive an interview until January 10th. Also last year, Western used to at-least send out e-mails each month telling the candidate the status of their application. This year, I only received an email stating that my application is ready for review and then nothing else after that. Maybe I should call them and ask what is going on...if I do not here anything by the end of this week I will call them before christmas to check on the status of my application. Good luck to all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patti S. Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Does anyone know how the recalculation of grades works? I received an email stating my gpa was not high enough, but they used my caspa gpa instead of recalculating my grade minus repeated coursework. Not sure if they recalculate AFTER you meet criteria or how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkinghardtobecomeaPA Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 According to their website, for repeated courses; they replace the grade with the higher grade and then re-calculate your GPA. If any of your GPA's (overall, science, pre-requisite)were below 2.75 then any candidate does not meet their minimum requirement. Keep your head up Patti and you can call your admissions counselor and they will advise you on what to do to improve your application. Good luck to all of us.

Patti S. Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks !!! It looks like they didn't recalculate my gpa and simply used my caspa gpa. With my repeated coursework I'm well over the minimum requirements. I'm going to contact admissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
